Reframing Organizations
This book is the fourth release of a work that began in 1984 as Modern Approaches to Understanding and Managing Organizations. The four-frame model, with its view of organizations as factories, families, jungles, and temples, remain the book's conceptual heart. The writers have updated their case examples extensively to keep up with the latest developments in managerial practice. The first part of the book, "Making Sense of Organizations," tackles a perplexing question about management: Why is it that smart people so oftem do dumb things?. Part two, "The Structural Frame," has been updated with new case material, including structural confusion that hindered rescue efforts during the September 11, 2001, terrorist incident in New York City. Part three, "The Human Resource Frame," includes new material on the changing employment relationship; it updates best practices in human resource management. Part four, "The Political Frame," views organizations as arenas. Part five explores the symbolic frame. Then the sixth part, "Improving Leadership Practice," focuses on the implications of the frames for central issues in managerial practice, including leadership, change, and ethics.
